Simon Joins Millionaire's Club With Ace-High Hero Call

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 939, Marian Virlanuta bet 21,000 from under the gun and Gilles Simon called in the hijack.

Both players checked the 6 turn before Virlanuta led out for another 91,000 on the 4 river.

Simon puzzled over the decision for a minute before placing a chip in the pot to signify a call. Virlanuta was then forced to show KJ for a bluff and Simon quickly revealed his AK as he took the pot with just ace-high.
